How can a person be justified before there is atonement for sin? how can a person be imputed with the Righteousness of God before Jesus lived a perfectly sinless and righteous life as a man? How can a person enter the Kingdom of God when He is not born again? There can be promises, but...

Many of the Jews of that time believed that God's promises were only for Jews. Corneous was sent to Peter who though the Gentiles were considered unclean by God. You have quoted Peters reaction who after seeing the same signs and wonders for the Gentiles receiving the Holy spirit, reports back...

Fearing God means respecting God? OK Dave. The Jews and Gentiles prayed in the synagogues every Sabbath because they respected God. Cornelius was sent to Peter because Peter needed to know that these Gentiles respected God. And back to relying on the TULIP system again. The Word of God defines...

I believe that they did experience the same new birth, but only after they heard the Gospel and believed and received the Holy Spirit "wholesale" as you say. Until that time, they were only declared righteous and justified by promise. They were not born again, since they were not in Christ. And...

Yes, but Dave, before Pentecost they were already declared righteous, and justified, just like Abraham. If their OT faith was a genuine saving faith, then they will hear and believe the Gospel per the Fathers promise to the Son that He would not lose one of them. The OT already declared...

This could potentially be a great qb class this year, me thinks. Many new names are emerging. John Mateer and Fernando Mendoza to name a few. Mendoza could be the first pick when it's all said and done. I think Manning stays in school, but who knows. Top 2026 quarterback prospects Garrett...

There are currently six 3-0 teams in the NFL as of the beginning of Week 4 of the 2025 season: the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is the most undefeated teams since 2020, and starting 3-0 is a...

Jackson Dart to start for the Giants. That should be interesting to watch. Steelers vs. the Vikings in Dublin Ireland. Sun. 9:30 A.M.

Hey Dave. The faith that I was speaking of did not exist. That was the point. I said: "According to Calvinism, the one without faith is at peace with God, already saved and very pleasing to God. This person simply needs to evidence that with faith at some point in time." It's not rocket...

Hey Dave I'm guessing that what you're doing with John 5:24 is what is commonly done with 1 John 5:1? https://www.baptistboard.com/threads/1-john-5-1-revisited.132077/ Let me know if that's not what you meant. It's just a statement of fact. He's not saying that they already had eternal life...

Hey Jon The bottom line is that systems, like TULIP, seek to make sense out of a vast amounts of information. A system is good in theory, but can be unknowingly abused by the flesh. We should hold to Scripture no matter how we 'feel' about it, like the Calvinist does. But that must be tempered...

Acts 13:48... You're missing the historical significance of that passage and the people who are called the Gentiles. That's why you're confused. Those Gentiles are OT believers. They needed to hear the Gospel and believe, because they were already given to Jesus by the Father and appointed to...

lol That bad huh?

Hey Z I think that my statements are accurate based on my discussions over the past years. If a person is born again before they believe, as the Calvinist believes, then they already have eternal life before they believe. One cannot be born again, born into that new life, and not posses it...

Hey JP I knew about Bosa being out, but not about Brock being a strong Christian. That's good to hear. We just lost our starting left tackle for the year. Our O-line wasn't anything to write home about lately, but still. We've got a few extra defensive ends that aren't bad. How are you guys...

Hey Ken. I'm short on time, please consider...Emphasis on "but now" and "firstfruits". 2 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. The Lamb slain from the foundations of the world was an eternal decree made from...

John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not...

Or you have no answer to that point. ;)

If you want to save time, don't watch the whole game, just watch the highlights of all the games on youtube. Each takes about ten minutes or so. Jacksonville is really a surprise for me this year. The Browns have their #1 pick next year. I was hoping for a top ten pick. It doesn't look likely...

BF If you're already saved, then you're already in Christ, and faith is not necessary. It doesn't say that whoever believes will evidence their ever lasting life. It says.... "...that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Faith matters. Without it, you're dead...
